14 Hours Left! Hide Details FROM: Tarryl Clark TO: Arnold schwertman Message flagged Friday, September 30, 2011 10:13 AM Dear Arnold- Goal ThermometerOver the past week I asked you to pitch in to help me hit my $10,000 goal by the end of the week, and thanks to everyone who responded, we have blown past this goal and raised over $10,500! With our momentum still growing I think we can get to $13,000 by our deadline at midnight. Contribute $3 now to help me stand up to the Tea Partiers and fight for our priorities. Ever since I entered the race, Chip Cravaack, my Tea Party opponent, has been pulling out all of the stops to raise money. He knows I am a fighter and that with me in the race his days in congress are numbered. With friends like Michele Bachmann and Exxon bankrolling his campaign, we know where Cravaack’s priorities lie. Because of your help, I can continue to fight for Medicare instead of oil subsidies and make sure that creating jobs in America is congress’ top priority. With only 14 hours left before our deadline, your contribution now is critical to our success. Together we can send Cravaack and his Tea Party buddies a message that we are going to fight for our priorities, and we won’t let the special interests dictate what those are. Thanks to all of you who have already given and thanks to all of you who are just about to. Sincerely, Tarryl Clark P.S. Our big deadline is only 14 hours away! Give $3 before midnight to push my campaign past our new goal and help keep us out fighting for you. Paid for by Friends of Tarryl Clark 2012 This email was sent to texas_long_horn2005@yahoo.com.

Arnold --

As chief operating officer of this campaign, I'm the person people come to when they want to spend the money you've donated.

All the budgets, calculations, and planning lead to a simple "yes" or "no." Yes, you can buy coffee and clipboards for neighborhood organizers in Ohio. No, you can't have a fancy computer when a cheaper one does the job. That sort of thing.

Every team on the campaign has submitted their plans for the rest of this year -- opening field offices, registering voters, building technology. And it all costs money.

I can't say yes to everything -- but what you do right now can help me say yes to more.

We have a critical fundraising deadline coming up on September 30th.

Help me say yes by giving $3 or more today.

Our field team has an incredibly detailed plan for a ground game that reaches voters in all 50 states. That means opening offices in some battleground states right now, and laying the plans to open others across the country next year. The campaign has plans to be the biggest grassroots movement this country has ever seen.

The scale we're talking about is unparalleled, and any time someone uses the word "unparalleled," that means it probably doesn't happen for free.

For every field office we open, there's rent, heat, staff, computers, phones, and supplies -- the list goes on.

What we do before midnight on September 30th determines our budget until the end of this year. And what happens this year will set in motion the results on Election Day 2012. It's that simple.

Help me say yes to what we need to do to put our plans in motion by donating $3 or more today -- you'll even be automatically entered for a chance to have dinner with President Obama:

Believe me, it'll be worth it.

Consumers Union, Policy & Action from Consumer Reports

Dear Arnold,

There’s a lot of political game-playing right now in Congress. But one game is directly impacting your financial security – and if you are fed up, speak out today!

A group of 44 Senators are holding hostage the nomination of our first consumer financial watchdog – former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray – unless they get to weaken and politicize his ability to get tough on Wall Street, the big banks and credit card companies.

Every day this game is played, we remain vulnerable to more of the financial industry’s tricks, like the crooked mortgage tactics that helped get us into this economic mess!

Tell your Senators to approve Richard Cordray as our top financial watchdog, and let him do his job!

Richard Cordray is widely viewed as a great pick to fight for our financial rights. In just two years as Ohio’s Attorney General, he recovered over $2 billion wrongly looted by Wall Street banks and returned it to Ohio homeowners, taxpayers, pension funds and municipalities.

He’s strongly endorsed by consumer activist Elizabeth Warren, who helped create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and picked him to head its enforcement division. “Rich is smart, he is tough, and he will make a stellar director,” Warren said. And during his recent Senate confirmation hearing, no one said he's not qualified for the job.

But rather than letting Cordray get to work protecting consumers and rooting out wrongdoing, this block of Senators signed a pledge refusing to approve a director unless they can gut the watchdog’s independence – and hand it over to the same cozy regulators who were in charge when shady financial tactics helped collapse our economy!

Tell your Senators to end the games, and start protecting consumers. Approve Cordray’s nomination!

Thank you for supporting efforts to put hardworking Americans’ financial concerns ahead of the Wall Street lobbyists. And you take action, please forward this to friends and family so they can do the same!

Sincerely,
Pamela Banks

Dear Arnold,

Hunger and poverty continue to plague America. The USDA just released their annual U.S. food-insecurity rates that showed for the third year in a row that nearly 49 million Americans, including 16.2 million children, are struggling to get enough to eat, virtually unchanged from the prior year. But with the recession still dragging along, many see the stability in the number of people in need of food assistance as heartening -- federal nutrition programs are working.

We know the need is out there. A new study by the US Census Bureau report showed that poverty continues to grow in the U.S. with about 15 percent of the population at or below the poverty level – up from 14 percent the year before, the third straight jump in the poverty rate.

I know you care about the issue of hunger. As a valued supporter I'd like to invite you to join the emerging conversations to preserve federal nutrition programs; a conversation focused on our nation's most vulnerable -- children. Please join several important voices in the anti-hunger community for a special Virtual Town Hall on child hunger this Thursday, September 15th at 3:00 PM EST.

Register for the Virtual Town Hall online today. Participants include:

• Kevin Concannon, U.S. Department of Agriculture Under Secretary will describe how SNAP and child nutrition programs are working to prevent child hunger.

• Lorretta Johnson, Secretary-Treasurer of the American Federation of Teachers will discuss how hunger affects a child’s ability to learn.

• Vicki Escarra, Feeding America President and CEO will explain how nutrition programs are at risk of budget cuts and how you can use your voice to advocate for anti-hunger programs.

After the Virtual Town Hall, you can connect directly to your Members of Congress as part of a national call in day. If you can’t join the town hall, you can simply dial 1-877-698-8228 to make your voice heard. Tell Congress to protect anti-hunger programs as part of any deficit deal!

I hope that you’ll register today; you're participation can make a difference!

It's time to dump the post-partisan-mantra - and start acting like FDR!
Thom plus logo


Will $300 billion fix the economy? President Obama hopes so. According to early reports from the White House - the President's job creation plan set to be unveiled Thursday night will come with a price tag of $300 billion - a number that is likely too high for Republicans to support - given they likely can't support a $20 dollar job creation package - and also a number far too low for many progressives hoping the President would go bold and throw a trillion dollar package out there. More troubling - only about $50 billion of that $300 billion will ACTUALLY go toward rebuilding our nation's crumbling infrastructure. The rest will go to tax cuts that have been proven to not have nearly as much bang for the buck as stimulus.


The President does plan to extend unemployment benefits also - a critical measure to ease the suffering of millions of unemployed Americans and stimulate the economy - but also a measure that Republicans will target for removal first in negotiations. President Obama's stimulus package in 2009 kept our economy from a Great Depression - but it wasn't nearly big enough to re-boot strong job growth. His own economic advisors told him this - but he decided to compromise with Republicans in the Senate by reducing its size and throwing in some tax cuts. As a result - Republicans can make the argument that it failed. Now - it looks like President Obama is making the same mistake twice - with a stimulus package that is too small to work.


It's time to dump the post-partisan-President mantra - and start acting like FDR and Harry Truman. Go bold with a jobs plan tomorrow - and beat the Republicans over the head with it until November.


-Thom

Will you be Watching President Obama or the Packers Thursday?
Thom plus logo


Speaker of the House John Boehner made history yesterday. After President Obama requested a joint session of Congress to announce his new jobs plan next week - on September 7th - Boehner REJECTED the request - and instead suggested Americans should choose between watching the President or the opening day of the football season. According to the Senate historian - never in the history of this nation had Congress ever rejected a presidential request for a joint session of Congress. Never. And, by the way, never in this history of our nation has a president ever had to produce his birth certificate, either.


Never in history has a president been called a liar by a sitting Supreme Court Justice during a State of the Union address, or been heckled as a liar by a southern Congressman. In the end - President Obama gave in to Speaker Boehner's demands (once again) and agreed to September 8th. So ultimately - yesterday turned out like every other day. It started with the president wanting to talk about jobs - the Republicans sabotaging that effort - and then President Obama caving in. So, we'll all get to watch the debut of "Governor Good Hair" Rick Perry in the Republican debate, instead of hearing the President share his jobs ideas with Congress. And the following night, the President goes up against the Packers and the Saints.


While I'm rooting for the President, I'm guessing most Americans will be watching the Packers. At least that's the Republican plan.

At least one Republican has Gotten the Message
Thom plus logo


At least one Republican has gotten the message. Senator John Thune from South Dakota told a local newspaper that if he's learned one thing during this August recess holding town hall meetings with constituents - it's don't cut Medicare and Social Security. Thune told the paper that that message is one that he'll be taking back to Washington, DC. Of course - the rest of the Republican Party still doesn't get it.


That's because they're either not holding ANY town hall meetings, or they're holding private, corporate-funded town halls that charge constituents 40 bucks to ask a question, or they're busy keeping "watch lists" to intimidate their constituents from asking tough questions.


Either way - John Thune seems to be the only Republican who's actually doing his job - and listening to the American people who are in lock-step opposition to the Republican's radical agenda.


-Thom


(Will more Republicans get the message? Tell us here.)

A "For the Rich, By the Rich" Economy
Thom plus logo


There's more evidence of a widening wealth inequality gap in America thanks to 30-plus years of Reaganomics. According to The Atlantic magazine - two-thirds of all new income in America between 2002 and 2007 went to just the top 1% of Americans. That's 2 out of every 3 dollars in America being sucked up by the richest of the rich.


Not to mention - that the wealthiest 400 Americans - our nation's most senior oligarchs, who own more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans - have seen their incomes double over the last twelve years while their tax rates have been cut in half. Talk about a "for the rich, by the rich" economy. Wealth inequality in America is at levels not seen since the 1920's - and we're now a more unequal nation than the Ivory Coast, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and Kazakhstan according to data from the CIA Factbook.


So when the entire American middle class disappears, then can we all accept that Reagan's vision of America - and the direction that the current Republican Party has this nation headed - will lead us all toward ruin?

Boy receiving much needed water.

Photo © David Lienemann/Official White House Photo

Together with LDS and humanitarians like you,

IRD will provide clean drinking water and save lives

in the Horn of Africa.






Dear Arnold,

IRD has issued an urgent call to donors to provide life-saving help to thousands of individuals in the Horn of Africa. Lives are at risk due to severe drought and famine. The United Nations has called this East Africa's worst drought in 60 years.

According to official reports, large numbers of Somali refugees are fleeing conflict and drought in their homeland and walking to the border crossing point at Dolo Ado into Ethiopia. A majority of the refugees are young children and women. Officials have stated that many thousands of children may die if they do not receive emergency help within the next few weeks.

From Ethiopia IRD Senior Program Officer Richard Wagner reports, "the scene is chaotic and aid is short. IRD is investing resources in areas along the Somali border providing clean water to as many families as possible. Our immediate focus is on saving lives but we are also developing long-term programming to help families recover their ability to care for themselves."

To address this need, the Latter-day Saint Charities (LDS) has provided IRD with a generous $170,000 emergency response in-kind grant. This 2-month grant is the first of two phases which will enable IRD to sustain its response to the drought which is expected to continue until the anticipated rainy season starts in November. The grant enables IRD to scale up its capacity to provide water trucking, jerry cans and other critical relief to save lives and reduce suffering among drought-affected populations in Ethiopia.

The LDS grant will make donations from private individuals, businesses, and foundations an even better investment. Whatever the amount donated, the impact will be further leveraged to help the most vulnerable. IRD is working along the Somali/Ethiopian border to provide clean, portable drinking water to 24,000 persons in 16 villages, in 2 districts of Ethiopia.

Please donate now to save lives and reduce suffering. The need is so great. There is still time, please join us to avert what could become the greatest catastrophe in more than a generation.

If you are interested in learning how you can become involved in raising awareness or funds in your community, please contact us at Advancement@ird-dc.org.

Dear Arnold,

We have a jobs crisis in this country, and we know we can't cut our way to prosperity. Yet for too long, some members of Congress have pretended that brutally cutting the budget and irresponsibly cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy will get people back to work.

The private sector will not create the jobs we need in this country any time soon, so it's up to the federal government to step in.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky has introduced the "Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act" that would put over 2 million people back to work and reduce unemployment by an estimated 1.3%. It's exactly the type of ambitious and aggressive response to the jobs crisis that we need.

Tell Congress: We don't need cuts, we need jobs. Click here to automatically sign the petition telling Congress to support the "Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act."

There's nothing mysterious or hard to understand about the bill.

Tens of millions of Americans are either unemployed or under-employed. Besides the personal pain this causes, the impact of legions of unemployed Americans on our economy is staggering.

At the same time, there's a huge need in our communities for more teachers, firefighters, health care workers and police officers. Many of our public schools are rundown and need to be repaired and upgraded. And there are all sorts of unmet community needs, like maintaining our public parks, that could be addressed by paying people to take them on.

The "Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act" would fund jobs programs to put millions of Americans back to work in these areas.

Large-scale federal jobs programs worked during the Great Depression, and they'll work now.

Tell Congress: We don't need cuts, we need jobs. Click here to automatically sign the petition telling Congress to support the "Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act."

It's time for Congress to stop using the jobs crisis as a pretext for even more corporate welfare and go big on the jobs front. The best way we can lower the federal deficit and get our economy moving again is getting people back to work.

Tell Congress: We don't need cuts, we need jobs. Click here to automatically sign the petition.

Thank you for speaking out for an aggressive plan to get Americans back to work.

Not all Billionaires are Created Equal
Thom plus logo


Maybe we should take a tip from France. The French government just introduced a new debt reduction package that includes a 3% income tax increase on people making more than $720,000 a year. But no one is screaming about class warfare in France today - that's because it was the millionaires and billionaires themselves who asked for the tax increase. In an open letter - some of the wealthiest people in France wrote, "We, the presidents and leaders of industry, businessmen and women, bankers and wealthy citizens would like the richest people to have to pay a 'special contribution'."


The letter goes on to say, "When the public finances deficit and the prospects of a worsening state debt threaten the future of France and Europe and when the government is asking everybody for solidarity, it seems necessary for us to contribute." As in - they realize there's not much quality of life in being rich while living in a poor country - a sentiment that most billionaires here in America don't appear to understand.


I guess it IS true - not all billionaires are created equal.


-Thom
